Remember that Xbox was a financial nightmare (a box that was impossible to profit off of and was sold for a loss from beginning to end), so Microsoft had great incentive to cut its life short

A better example would be Game Boy Advance, which lasted 3 years 3 months in the USA, despite being undisputed handheld king of the age and a real moneymaker for Nintendo

Releasing  new console is no garrentee of success, MS were still selling at a loss but you are right, GBA is a far better example.



Hmm, pie.
